If you just let it

What you want might make you cryWhat you need might pass you byIf you don't catch itAnd what you need ironicallyWill turn out what you want to beIf you just let itLauren HillStop searching, start finding. What is it that you believe is "out there" that you must have, must find, must do, must eat, must drink, must wear, must must must to arrive, to do the right thing?Believe it or not that was my self talk yesterday. Then I had to stop and ask myself" How are you feeling? (twice) Give thanks and breathe it in because you are blessed was the eventual response.In Nairobi and was tripping out because I could not access the cash from my bank account. I stood at the machine and looked at it with my sad eyes, as if the damm thing could have seen me! Then I decided to go into "fix it" mode, spent the entire day doing that, calling home to chat with the bank, sending whatsapp to one of my friends, going online to transfer the cash - nothing materialized and by 11pm I realised that I have been focused on that all day, an entire day passed that I was supposed to be doing something to make the most of my time in the country and I was stressing on this. I own it, I assumed that this was the best way to access my funds, I did not ask the bank, this was my first time using this system and also the biggest thing is my feelings associated with asking, with admitting my way is not "THE WAY" and releasing of the ego which looks and searches for perfection and attempt to make illusions real.According to Sabrine Reur,the human ego loves degeneration. It helps us make choices that are not for our highest and best good. It keeps us in chaos, duality, victim consciousness, addictions, attachments and illusions. The ego is filled with fear, and it is especially fearful of the light from our higher selves.I slipped into that ego based thinking and it was quickToday is a new day, new thoughts, new vibesI'm in Kenya!!! A dream turned to the real! Make it count, stop the searching, start the finding!It's all good.Peace

your light is extraordinary. — reminder. nayyirah waheed. I
finished eating the plate of posho and spinach. She asked me, “Why do you play
small?” my first reaction was that she
was talking about my weight. I responded, “I play small because I work out” and
I chuckled. She gave me a blank stare! “Do you know that
you have a responsibility to yourself, to your ancestors, to your spirit?” Ok
now it was getting serious, now it was time for me to pay attention. “What do you mean?” “It
is your responsibility to excel, to glow, to do what you know you can do. “It
makes no sense holding it all back! What are you saving it for? Why do you give
one single thought to what other people think? Those who are for you and what
you stand for will remain, the rest are passing through on your journey, leave
them, and continue along your path! Please,
honour your responsibilities, your purpose and your ancestors. There is no way

Any public issue will get to your private door eventually. If we are messing with the environment it will eventually affact you and so the list goes on. Marianne Willamson

There is so much going on in the world right now, from hurricanes wiping out islands, to leaders who respond like they aren't leading, to mass shootings, to killing black folks and the list goes on and on till the break of dawn
It is enough to get one disjointed, disappointed and anxious. Truth be told I am at that point. Wht next? I have decided that I must contribute to the solution, I have no clue what THE solution is but I know what my solution is- to be the best me, to make where I am better than when I found it, to stop being selfish, to live as though there are other people and living beings on the planet. Simple things I am starting with
recycling - there is no obvious and convenient ways to recyle where I live
using less plastic bags
giving to charity both financial and time
be my best - do my best - be…

Naïve vulnerability
thinks: If I try hard
enough to be heard, I’ll get what I want.
Awake vulnerability thinks: This
